Great Hotel! From the area you wouldn’t expect it but when you walk into the lobby it just gives the sense of “wow, this is nice!” The staff is friendly and helpful and even though the price per night is actually quite fair and budget friendly the rooms are spacious and open Depending on the side of the hotel you’re in you could have a great view but all the rooms have lots of natural light I was only staying here because our flight was cancelled and that’s where the airline put us up in but I would stay here again on my own

Super location; close to the airport for a 6 am departure next day Check in was quick and the desk agent was very friendly Our feather free room was clean, tidy and ample in size
The restaurant was great; food super good and wait staff very cordial and accommodating Convenient shuttle service offered to the airport for our 3:30 am ride The driver was timely, friendly and efficient She was respectful of those who made it to the lobby in time for the 3:30 am departure She even made a courtesy call to the rooms of other expected guests; they did not show While the area is noisy; “duh”(—airport nearby)- with additional roadside activity we were pleased with our stay here; served our needs for next day airport departure
N.Y.A. Matchmaking Services
I absolutely LOVE this place The manager Angela is remarkable, extremely kind and so easy to work with The rest of the staff were highly accommodating and attentive
The food and drinks were delicious and did not disappoint I had an networking singles event here and couldn’t have asked for better service! From start to finish myself and my attendees were taken care of Everything was clean and orderly and the energy at this venue was phenomenal It’s in a great location- not too far from the Airport and it’s also near a Dollar Tree, Gas Station and Walgreens which is helpful for last minute shopping I would definitely recommend doing an event here or staying here the next time you’re in town They’ll be sure to make you feel like home!

The good and the bad… Honest Recent ReviewI had JUST checked in and in a matter of 5 minutes my truck window was smashed- and items stolen- at 1 in the afternoon and parked out front Cost to replace was $500 CDN Police came and they were really nice 😂Staff was AMAZING
Helped me clean up Were very apologetic and kind and I stayed for the remainder of my stay because of itRoom bedding I had to change when I arrived as it was dirty But, they brought warm clean bedding I threw on Rest of the room seemed cleanI mean, to me the Staff make the place They were really good to me Everywhere, and I mean everywhere around here has crime and the exact same issues So at least you’re staying somewhere where they seem to care
Andrea Cisneros
We were very upset when our room was changed without our knowledge prior to our arrival We requested and paid for a queen suite so that we could be with our three children together in the same room When we checked in we were told that the suite had not been cleaned and we were going to have to stay in two separate rooms that had queen beds
I explained to the person checking us in that we needed a suite in order to remain together as a family for our vacation and was told that there was nothing he could do about it and he seemed annoyed that I cared He said you “would not rather have two rooms?” I then requested that we change rooms the next day in order to be together for the remainder of our stay and at first he told us that that could not happen but then changed and said it could For that night my husband and I had to stay in separate rooms and split the kids When we spoke with the new person at the check-in counter the next morning they again seemed surprised that we would not prefer two separate rooms and we had to explain again that we have our children and did not want to be sleeping in separate rooms on our vacation They let us know that the queen suite that we reserved was currently full and we would have to wait for the people to check out and the room to be cleaned This let us know that the hotel chose to take more money and allow someone else that suite even though we had booked in advance and paid the day that we booked for that room It was clear to me that there was no care or thought about how that would affect our stay and nobody called to let us know that we would not have that suite or offered a refund for that night to see if we could find a suite elsewhere, instead they knew that when we arrived we would have no option but to stay in two separate rooms and the hotel was able to get money for double booking the room that we already paid for Whenever we travel I look for hiltons in the area because it is typically the most comfortable stay, but I no longer trust Hilton to honor reserving the room that we pay for

Room was fabulous but
but the ants in the bathroom were not pleasant but maintenance did come right away so overall the stay was great the hottub , swimming pool you would think it be heated being inside and the workout room it was sweetI would come back again but different room The front desk girls were amazing there was one that went out of her way to help me with some arts and crafts for my aunties service I didn’t catch her name but she knows who she is thank you so so much I appreciate you and your 110% my lady
clueless fisherman
Room looked good when we got there as we dropped our stuff off then went to my daughter’s softball tournament Got to the room at 10pm put the 2 yr old to sleep and and noticed the toilet running but didn’t think anything of it until about 1 and then again at 1:30, I woke up no less than 5 times and got the worst sleep I’ve ever had, I went to the front desk in the morning and complained about it and they said they could of switched me rooms but with a 2yr old and a grumpy 13 yr it wasn’t worth switching rooms at 11 and dealing with the headache Front desk said all they could do was give us points for the annoyance which is not what I wanted but it was points or nothing, I would of been happy with 10$ off our 220$ room but no
side note when I went to lay down and moved the pillows the headboard was all worn and looked like it had seen some miles🥵
Bert Maggleferg
Friendly and courteous staff at front desk, at my room the first thing I notice is the room has been lived in hard Everything is well worn like the door that has deep wear marks from the chain and doesn’t close tight as hallway light shown through all the way around at night Dresser drawers wouldn’t open or close
Couch cushions so broken down that the front structure of the couch cut across the back of your legs Room was pretty clean but not thoroughly clean One evening when I returned, the hallway wreaked of cigarette smoke when it is supposed to be non-smokingThe continental breakfast was good and I used the exercise room a couple times Bed was surprisingly comfortable but the one night in my schedule I planned to take a soak in the hot tub, it was out of service due to a chemical imbalanceCould have given it 3 stars but based on how much I spent in return for what I got, I can only go 25 stars and will book somewhere else next time

This is an amazing historic building, and McMenamins did a great job making it a fun place to visit! Staff was friendly and very helpful! Our group had a dinner and everyone enjoyed the food and were really impressed with the quality of food and how great it was The Spanish Ballroom is a great music venue! The sound system is excellent and a really cool space to check out live music! I definitely will return as I know I missed some of the great spaces Parking is mostly street parking, so that was the only reason I gave location 4 stars

Remember to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking any resort This web site will compare thousands of hotel sites and usually will have rates a lot cheaper than others! Thank me later on! This resort is one of my favorites in the area
I have been staying here for a very long time If you decide to stay here you won’t be let downLove love love this place! So unique and so fun! What a great atmosphere, from the inside to the out and from the top to the bottom! Each bar is so different and I think my favorite thing is I don’t know if there’s 2 matching light fixtures in the entire place! Oh And the food is so good!!!
Gerry Hunter
McMenamins nailed it again with the Elks Temple property; a beautiful renovation of an historic building, well-executed and full of fun bits of history to learn about the building and the area Fun to stroll the entire building (the diverse collection of chandeliers is amazing — don’t miss the atrium!) We had dinner in the pub; the service was solid, and everything was tasty and a decent value
Even had a couple of cocktails which were pleasingly well-madeThe bed was great, the room was clean and everything worked Only downside was a bit of all-night industrial noise and light from across the water; it was great to sit and look out at it all with a drink, but a touch noisy for good sleep Pulling closed the heavy drapes in the room took care of all of the light and most of the noise though, so it should really only be an issue for light sleepers

Pam Tutino
Devon at the front desk went above and beyond for us The hotel and rooms were extremely clean and comfortable and never wanted to get out of bed it was so comfortable The only very minor thing was housekeeping only left 2 cups in the room and 3 different types of single serve coffees
1 decaf, 1 medium roast and 1 bold No cups for the ice bucket or bathroom either What if you had 4 people in the room with 2 queens You would have to ask for more cups and coffee (which we did) or share I realize this is pretty minor, all you’d have to do is ask for more but when you pay that much for a room for 2 nights they should stock it accordingly Shouldn’t have to ask for something that should be automatic

I’m not sure which was more beautiful, the home or the lovely couple running it Actually, the surrounding neighborhood was pretty great, too Toni and Martin were so attentive and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the entire house
Now we want to stay in all of the rooms Everything was clean and nicely decorated, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the jacuzzi tub was awesome! And Toni totally outdid herself at breakfast, to include taking my husband’s special diet needs into consideration We had a lovely stay and we’re looking forward to going back some day
Brody Sauers
Stayed here for several weeks while working It was a great stay Toni and Martin were outstanding hosts and super friendly
The room was beautiful and very comfortable And the location is great Short walking distance to everything you’d need, including a grocery story (stadium Thriftway is 10/10), restaurants, bars, pharmacy The immediate area is filled with beautiful houses that are worth a walk to see as well
Lani Bartlett
Very impressive building and grounds It had an historical and grand ambiance to it The hosts were very accommodating and friendly
The breakfasts were fantastic The fruit salads in the picture were elegantly assembled The only negative was that the building and grounds were in a bit of disrepair and there was more clutter than expected But all in all, we enjoyed our stay very much

I generally really like this hotel It is convenient to the airport and many locations throughout Seattle and the south sound The rooms are clean and have practical floor plans
The kitchens are great for longer stays I’ve only given three stars this time, though, because it has been 2 years into this pandemic and they are still keeping the bar closed and no longer serve appetizers They are also not hosting food trucks Please reopen the bar and the M-Th happy hours Everyone has had covid now, so it is time to move on please Thank you
Cassandra Luppens
When we checked in noone told us to put the key in the slot to turn on lights and ac Room was about 82 and so called ac set to 68 It was hot and uncomfortable all night long
The hallway was cooler than our room They also didn’t inform us we needed to schedule a pickup to return to airport nor did they inform us when breakfast was served Bed was very springy hard It was quiet and close to the lake which made for an easy walk and swimming Overall very lackluster and maybe a 2 star Marriott It was quiet that was about the only pro What looked like rat or cockroach droppings along the hallway leading to the dining room I wouldn’t stay here again
Gayle Otis
If you are staying in Seattle, the accommodations at Marriott The Residence Inn Seattle Sea-Tac Airport are outstanding! The staff could not have been more professional and very helpful The shuttle service was easy to use and they will even transport the guests to a restaurant as well as the regular airport route The facility is only about 4-5 years old and maintained very well
The entire residence is very clean and the location is perfect It is close to the airport and has a path to a lovely park with greenery and a variety of trees which was wonderful to walk around and even a lake The area felt very safe We walked down to Sharpe’s RoastHouse several times during our stay which we would also highly recommend as the food was absolutely delicious Don’t miss out on staying at this wonderful residence when in Seattle!!!!!! We can not wait to go back!!

Angel Schrauth
This was literally one of the best hotels we have stayed in First impression: very neat and clean, we were welcomed by a very friendly front desk employee We had a reservation so check in was super simple
Get to our room and it too was very neat and clean The beds were very comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was amazing! Plenty of outlets to plug in many devices Continental breakfast was very good and filling, unfortunately our flight home was very early Sunday morning so we only could partake in one breakfast morning Plenty of seating as well Very cozy, we used the common area for afternoon drinks and conversation with some of our other wedding party members I highly recommend this hotel
Patricia McElroy
I see some of the negative reviews and I seriously don’t get it This is a Holiday Inn, not some luxury hotel That said, I have been here 2 weekends in a row for an event, and will return for a third
Both of my rooms were clean and quiet despite the hotel being fully booked Everything worked fine The check in and check out process is a breeze The desk staff were friendly and efficient I was very impressed – in fact, I have had less pleasant stays at luxury establishments I will be back
Kat Tower
CONS: The shower and toilet had hair on them when we arrived The toilet paper and facial tissue had not been replaced before we arrived A light bulb was out; when the front desk person replaced it, they didn’t have the right bulb so it still didn’t work
The phone didn’t work unless we put it on speaker The front desk person was not very professional, sharing information about their staffing issues and even said, “at least there are no bugs” when we asked her to get the bathroom cleanedwhich of course made me wonder if they’d had complaints about bugs! We did not have a “Do Not Disturb” sign to hang from our doorPROS: Inexpensive, so I guess we got what we paid for! Breakfast was good, with multiple high-quality options (such as brand-name organic yogurt) Everything was clean – of course, aside from our bathroom When we notified them that our bathroom was not clean, they did send the cleaning crew, who re-cleaned the whole bathroom for us Flat screen TV was nice Armoire was nice Bed was really comfy

Extremely personable staff Well kept rooms I even liked the art
The rooms are arranged a bit different from what a normal hotel might do and I think it works Fast and roomy elevator Ac/heat works really well and gets to temp quickly Great water pressure I really enjoyed that there is actual shelves in the shower Zone Lighting in the room where needed Super cool area too Lots to do within walking distance 100% would stay again
Xochitl Castaneda
I attended a meeting here The space is very nice, the catering was good We had make your own sandwich trays
The restrooms are clean and modern Parking is a challenge We parked across the street and the payment machines were inoperable I had to go to the front desk to pay for parking That was extra time while I was rushing to get to my meeting
IMR
The rooms were nice & the hotel was very elegant & clean The only thing wrong was the way the built the parking garage It is very tight & narrow
If you have a big truck or pulling a trailer you will have to park on the street They can’t even get a tow truck in it Be very aware this parking garage is very small Maybe they thought all their guests & staff would be driving smart cars

The place is beautiful don get me wrong But I would expect at least to get free breakfast or parking they charge for both considering i spent 200 for one night i was hoping at least a meal or to be able to park but I was wrong 🙄 kind of a disappointment but I get it they need to make there money 💰 but after I found out about breakfast I had ordered a orange juice and then they made a big deal about paying for the orange juice it just seemed a little pety considering how much I spent to stay here not everyone has extra money to spend i just came to bring my daughter to see the artwork! But I don’t think I would stay here again

My sister and I stayed at this hotel for our girls weekend The hotel is BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED in blown glass by different artists, and there is a different artists featured on each floor The location of the hotel was close to shops and restaurants
They also offer dog friendly rooms at this location I would say the only downside would be the customer service on dayshift Our room keys were not working and we needed help getting our bags and room key in order and instead of someone assisting us we had to make 4 trips getting stuck out of our room and on the elevator with bags Needless to say we were pretty annoyed at this point But all in all that was the only snaffle we had and in the large sum of things it wasn’t a bad stay at all The night shift however was excellent, they brought up extra blankets in a timely manner and they were very helpful and friendly

For $170 per night, I don’t think that I’d stay here again I don’t typically write reviews unless I feel that my experience was really not worth the money (or if it really was!) Bought about $75 worth of groceries, stored it in the fridge, and the next day it stopped/wasn’t working and all of the food and drinks we bought went bad
Café had a 30+ minute wait and didn’t have enough available seating for the events they host, even getting there when they opened there was a wait time Room service wasn’t allowed, covers on the bed had a rip in it Door lock stopped working too and we got locked out for a good hour or so before someone came to fix it Hotel itself is beautiful, but seemed to care more about money made over quality of stay

We really enjoyed our stay at the Silver Cloud Inn and would have given five stars if it weren’t for the fact that they charge $14 dollars per night to park for hotel guests Since guests are paying such a high price already for such a nice hotel, you would think they would parking would be included Our room was beautiful and spacious with a gorgeous view
The staff/hotel were very accommodating and welcomed our service dog The hotel is in a safe and nice location, with a dog park just feet away which was very convenient since we were traveling with our service dog The breakfast options were great, they offered both hot and cold items, everything tasted good Staff were always very nice, friendly and prompt in taking care of any of our needs in a timely manner We definitely recommend

Rooms are clean and interior is updated The Staff are super friendly and the location is unbeatable Great views from almost all the rooms
Complimentary Breakfast is also delicious and simple with a fantastic morning viewOnly downside Not enough to take a star away, is the shower The water pressure is a joke More like a trickle
Trinity Lucas
I booked this place for my bf 21st birthday, it was easy booking & they’re friendly and helpful over the phone When we arrived, they upgraded his room to a better view with a jacuzzi complementary for his birthday which was amazing and shocking! Room was clean & fresh & bed is comfortable Definitely recommend & would book again in the future !

Our stay was very pleasant! The staff were kind and attentive! Our room was comfortable, clean, and accommodating I am not sure if every room has this, the headboard displayed some of the local town in a painting style A unique touch! The continental hot breakfast was well put together! With all the amenities this hotel provides this surely made a great deal!
Tracy McPherson
Overall a very good hotel The only reason I rated a little lower is that the neighborhood around the hotel is starting to get pretty run down There is a tent city directly on the other side of the fence for the hotel parking lot and a lot of activity there
I do want to note however, that we have not had any issues at all related to that, and the hotel staff is awesome and very accommodating They have a very secure parking lot and key requirements to even get in the building as well as night security guards as well That being said, I don’t like feeling like I’m in prison when I go to a hotel Hopefully the city will get the area cleaned up
Ambria Affriseo
Surprised with the size of the rooms & I loved the lighted mirror & window covers They allow as much natural light as you want or completely darken the room I through some sound motion lights around the head board of the bed & gave the room some color therapy
The kids loved it Also, the storages made it easy to keep the room looking clean while still having all your personal items at your fingertips & organized Overall I give this hotel ☆☆☆☆☆
